Laughs in non-Abrahamic Asian.
Christians don't cut off foreskins outside of the US!
Yes but Muslims and Jews do. That's why I said non-Abrahamic.
South Korea does it I think, some Australians too iirc
What is it with yanks and cutting up babies dicks?
Religious cult nonsense is the typical reason.
And then it got so popular they decided it would be weird to stop 🙄
It’s cool to be stupid and promote anti intellectualism in the US
Look up "John Harvey Kellogg circumcision". A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.
Wasn't that why he invented corn flakes too?
And unfortunately, many Americans don’t ever think or question anything. It just remained this way.
That dude was a freak
It didn't work.
On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though

They sell the foreskins.
And you have to pay to have it removed!
At this point it's mostly just to match the dad.
I think it used to be about preventing masturbation?
Lol you'd think they would have figured out pretty quick that it didn't work

Wait until you learn about Oral Suction Circumcisions
Neonatal genital herpes isn't going to spread itself.
Extremely disturbing. I'm shocked this is legal.
Do I want to know?
You really don't.
Is there like an evil version of TIL? Because I just went to the Wikipedia article about this practice and I wish I hadn't done that.
TIWCTL, or today i was cursed to learn
Why are you so antisemitic?
Oy vey calling out pedophiles is antiseptic.
Oy vey!

Also intersex kids. Obviously their bodies aren't sacred. Only binary cis people.
I thought only medically necessary surgeries are done?
Medically necessary to the doctor or parents' idea of binary gender. Yes.

I suspect circumcision is a devious, elaborate conspiracy by the lotion industry.

I've heard an american nurse's perspective who's had to clean uncircumsized children. What I gather is thar americans are so generally unhygenic and neglectful that it's extremely common for parents to bring in children for cleaning when things go wrong. She thinks circumscion is a medically sound option.
The american government thinks circumcision is a cost effective preventive measure, which makes sense if you've seen the price of healthcare. The rest of the world generally agrees that this practice isn't super effective, and it's primarily fueled by judaism and islam or aesthetic.
I'll spare the horror stories and scary diagrams for my fellow man. I'm against circumcision. Have you seen what it looks lile after surgery and how much pain the baby is in? The diaper hurts them.
We don't complain about having to clean baby girls. Not to mention the risk for irreversable damage that can reduce pleasure or be painful for life.
I think consenting individuals should participate in the anatomy of their body and not have that choice taken away by religious/lazy parents.
The idea that baby boys are hard to clean and the healthcare excuse are both propaganda created by Christian fundamentalist groups.
It's not necessary in any way and is even considered unethical in many parts of the world.

Where else do you get calamari?
Wait til you hear about intersex babies.
King David in the corner:
Circumsion must be illegal world-wide.
I WANT MY FORESKIN BACK
20,000 LOST NERVE ENDINGS
A LIFETIME OF LOW SENSITIVITY AND MID ORGASMS.
SOMEONE DESERVES TO DIE FOR THIS.
Not the pencil sharpening
Should we trend the hashtag CircumcisionIsKnifeRape ?
